In extreme gratitude to the single most influential person to defeat John Kerry, due attention must be accorded to the Chief Justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, who "interpreted" that Commonwealth's constitution to read that homosexuals can be married to each other, I have composed this little poem.

ODE TO MARGARET MARSHALL (Chief Justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court)

Here’s to you, Maggie darling and your counterculture Court.

You diddled poor John Kerry, as you diddled us - for sport.

The outcome was delightful and we have you to thank,

And we beknighted Bushies cheered as John F. Kerry sank.

And dear old Massachusetts has become a laughing-stock.

Its upper court made human culture just a thing to mock

You must have been mischievous; you must have thought it cute,

But you must be surprised to find America astute.

So thanks again dear Margaret, your cunningness paid off.

Soon we’ll have an amendment, and to you my hat I’ll doff.

And for the next election, we hope we can count on you

To keep your deviltry alive, we’ll love it if you do.

--Cadwalader (--with apologies to Rudyard Kipling)
